Amazing Stories: NBC and Bryan Fuller Reboot Spielberg Series

by Cindy McLennan, October 26, 2015

Stephen Spielberg’s Amazing Stories was a fantasy/sci-fi anthology, that ran on NBC for 45 episodes, over two seasons, before being cancelled in 1987. NBC has put a revival of the series in development and tapped the now-cancelled Hannibal‘s Bryan Fuller to executive produce and pen the pilot. Coincidentally (not at all), full episodes of the original series are available for streaming at NBC.com.

The 1985 original ran for two seasons and was created and executive produced by Steven Spielberg, who we’re hearing is not involved in the reboot. The series earned 12 Emmy nominations and received five awards.

Amazing Stories will be produced by Universal Television with Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank (Under the Dome, Extant) serving as executive producers along with Fuller.

This will mark Fuller’s first series project for NBC since the acclaimed Hannibal, which ran for three seasons and concluded this summer. Fuller is also showrunning the upcoming Starz fantasy series American Gods, based on Neil Gaiman’s novel.

What do you think? Did you watch the original version of the Amazing Stories TV show on NBC? Are you a Fuller fan? Would you tune in for this new version of Amazing Stories without Spielberg at the helm? Let us know.
